I'LL SIGN THE PAPERS--MEL TILLIS AND GEORGE MORGAN
[G]I TRIED SO HARD TO KEEP OUR HOME [C]ALIVE
BUT [D7]YOU DON'T EVEN CARE THAT I'M [G]AROUND
YOU TELL ME THAT SOMEHOW OUR LOVE HAS [C]DIED
AND [D7]YOU'D RATHER BE SET FREE THAN BE TIED [G]DOWN
ALL RIGHT, I'LL SIGN THE [C]PAPERS
EVEN [D7]THOUGH YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU [G]SO
ALL RIGHT, I'LL SIGN THE [C]PAPERS
BUT [D7]OH HOW IT HURTS TO SEE YOU [G]GO
[G]I'VE LAID AWAKE AT NIGHT WHEN YOU WERE [C]GONE
AND [D7]THOUGHT OF ALL THINGS THAT I COULD [G]DO
TO TRY AND MAKE YOU HAPPY WHEN YOU COME [C]HOME
BUT THE [D7]MORE I TRY THE MORE YOU MAKE ME [G]BLUE
ALL RIGHT, I'LL SIGN THE PAPERS
EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SO
ALL RIGHT, I'LL SIGN THE PAPERS
BUT OH HOW IT HURTS TO SEE YOU GO
